Don't know off hand.
Yes, I would expect gcc to fail with same symptoms too.
But by some reason it puts it makes it a 'common' symbol:

$ cat rttm1.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <rte_eal.h>
#include <rte_cycles.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
        rte_delay_us(1);
        printf("return code: %d\n", ret);
        return ret;
}

$ gcc -m64 -pthread -o rttm1 rttm1.o -ldl   -L/${RTE_SDK}/${RTE_TARGET}/lib -Wl,-lrte_eal
$ nm rttm1.o | grep rte_delay_us
0000000000000008 C rte_delay_us
